The Rats WeaDOnS.

The rat is finely equipped for the pc culiar life he is ordained to lead. He has strong weapons in the shape of four long and very sharp teeth-two in the upper jaw and two in the lower. These teeth arc wedge shaped, and by won- derful provision of nature have always a fine, sharp, cutting edge. On examining them carefully, the inner part is found to be of soft, ivory-like composition, which can easily be worn away, and the outside is composed of glass-like en- amel, which is exceedingly hard. The upper teeth work into the under so that the centres of the opposed teeth meet perfectly in the act of gnawing, hence the soft part is being continually worn away, while the hard part keeps sharp, chisel-likc edge all the time, and at the same time the teeth arc constantly growing up from the bottom, so that as they wear away fresh supply is ready. Should one of these teeth be removed by accident or otherwise, the opposing tooth will continue to grow, and there being nothing to wear it away, it will project from the mouth and be turned upon it. self, and if it be an under tooth it will grow so long as to penetrate the skull.

What the Animals Eat.

Circus goers are often awestruck at thought of the enormous amounts the proprietors must have to pay for the "ta. ble board" of their caged exhibits. But as matter of fact the feeding of the animals does not amount to as much as might be imagined. There are certain classes of animals known to circus men as hay animals, bread animals, meat ami mals, etc. Three hundred pounds of meat, three tons of hay, and 250 pounds of bread will be an ample daily supply for the whole menagerie or any of the big shows. When the snakes eat, which is only once in three months, they must be fed with doves, rabbits or pigeons.
 It takes the romance out or ones ear ly knowledge of natural history to hear we'll posted circus man say that it is all nonsense to talk about snakes fascin- ating their prey. When hungry, he as- serts, snakes will strike any live animal within reach and lay hold of it without any preliminary movement. When a snake has particularly good appetite he wilt get away with five or six birds nt single meal. Golden Argosy.

Using Q Locomotive for a Bootiack,

''It isn't very often that you hear of man using a locomotive for boot jack," said an engineer on the Atlantic road last night, ''but I happen to kn ow of m interesting incident that occurred down in Indiana the past winter. Walt Coleman, brakeman on a freight train,
 set out one bitter cold night to flag a p~seeagcr jnst south of Hammond. He was out about two hours, and when he came back his fingers and ears were badly frozen. After we had got some whiskey down him and had rubbed his hands and ears in snow we tried to remove his boots, but his feet were so badly swollen that they could not be pulled off. Cole man was an economical cuss, and he would not let us cut them off his feet. He said tho boots had cost him $7 but two weeks before, and he could not af- ford to lose them so soon, even if by so doing he would be relieved of his suf- ferings. It was finally agreed to take Coleman out to the locomotive, stick his boot heels between the slats of the cow cat atcher, and then back up. When everything was ready the enineer reversed his engine, while we clung to Coleman's arms and shoulders. The boots came of quick enough, but Coleman's legs came so near going with them that there was no fun in 1t. AS it was, we had to cut the heels on the boots to save any portion of them. That was the queerest boot-jack ever saw. It may appear novel to many other people. ."-Chicago Herald.

The use of poles on which to string electric wires for telcgrapaing, telephon- ing and electric lighting in cities and towns has now continued long enough to allow large portion of the original poles to become rotten and public dan- ger whenever high winds subject them to unusual strains. The evil is greatly aggravated by the wires, which, when a pole is blown down, become almost as dangerous to any one struck by them as if hit by the pole itself. If strong electrical current is passing through a wire, men or animals may be easily in jured, and perhaps killed, by mere con- tact with it.

Salt.

A New York commission merchant said to a Commercial reporter: "The experiment of making solar salt has been tried in this country but without much success. The quality of the sea water varies good deal. It will deposit ono kind of salt on one island and another perceptibly different, even to the eye, on another island perhaps not more than forty miles away. We do an immense trade with the West Indies in salt. There are dozen places that furnish altogether different kinds of salt, and each has it's particular use. One very fine and easily soluble variety is used in the favoring of chewing tobacco. Not many chew CTS know that, but they would find out very quickly that something was lack ing if the salt should be omitted. Some physicians have thought that the presence of the salt makes the tobacco very injurious"

Persian JeWelry.

As goldsmiths and jewellers the Per sians are expert, and jewelry is by no means the exclusive luxury of the rich. In the first place it is cheap. The most skillful jewellers are glad to work for two shillings day and the profit they can make on the very small amount of solder they are permitted to use. The Persian seldom buys his jewelry ready made; he orders it. When the various pieces have been cast or cut out from the metal supplied by the customer, they are brought to him for inspection and carefully weighed. Then the article is put together, either in the customers own house and under his eye or under the supervision of his servant. Then it is again weighed, then chased and
 finished, the filings and waste being collected and credited to the customer. .-[ Chicago Tribune.

Wedding presents have of recent years become absurdly costly and geor- geous writes correspondent of the Philadelphia Press. The old fashion,
 which was startel among the Dutch, of giving the young couple their household appointments and sum of money with which to begin has now degenerated into . very bold display of wealth and osten- tatious generosity, so that friends of mod. crate means are 10th to send anything. Silver and gold services, too precious to be trusted to ordinary lock and key, are displayed at the wedding and immedi- ately sent off to some convenient safe. This is one of the inevitable overgrowths of luxury which Americans have not yet learned to manage. Ia France they dc better. Those nearest of kin subscribe { sum of money, which is sent to tho brides mother, who expends it for arti cles most needed or coveted by tn, bride. So far has this custom transcend
 ed good taste that now many persons o
 refinement hesitate to show the presents

A Pretty Custom.

It was pretty custom long ago for lovers to exchange rings. The gentle man did not have to spend months in- come for pretty trinkct for which he got no return, but he also wore and cherished souvenir from his sweetheart. Chaucer describes heroine as giving her lover ring on which were engraved suitable love notices and receiving O like one in return. Shakespeare makes more than one allusion to this custom. Iu the 'Two Gentlemen of Verona" Julia gives Porteus ring, saying: Keep you this remembrance for thy Julia's sake." To which he replies: ''Why, then we'll make exchange; here, take you this"
 A '.gimmar" or linked ring was then invented which gave still greater force and significance to the custom. It was made of double and often triple link, which turned upon pivot. It could be opened, showing three rings. A small hand was attached to each outer ring, which, when closed, caused the hand to clasp, inclosing heart which was affi xed 10 the central notchcd ring. It was cus- tomary to break these rings asunder in solemn manner over the bible. It was always done in the presence of witness, who kept the center rink, the betrothcd couple reserving tho two outside links When the marriage contract was fulfilled at the altar the three portions were united and the ring used in the ceremony. -[ Jewellers Weekly.

Legends of tho Swallow.

The sight of sitting swallow is ac. counted fortunate; of one on the wing he reverse.
 The present to a lady of gold ring which has lain in swallows nest nine Jays engenders love fo. the donor in her breast,
 In Wcstphalia, when a man sees the first swallow he should look if thcro be hair under his foot. If he find one his future wife's hair will be of the sam, color.
 The heart of the swallow, worn round the neck, is by somo supposed to reude, the wearer attractive; it is also con- sidered good for strengthening the mem- ory.
 Nothing is supposed to bring better lnck to house than for swallows to build their nests round it; or, on the other hand, be a worse omen than for the nests to be forsaken.
 In some parts of Germany it is deemed necessary to wash the face immediately after the first swallow has been seen; otherwise one must expect to DC sunburnt and freckled during the year.
 In Ireland tho swallow is called ''devil's bird;" and the country people hold that there isa certain hair on every one's head which if swallow can pick off the man is doomed to eterral pcrdi. tion. So, too, in some parts of Scotland it is sad to have drop of the devils blood in its veins, and in Caithness it is called Switch hag."

The Conscience.

The conscience can be dulled in one direction by neglect, even while it is quickened in another by exercise, and it is too often the case that persons think themselves bound to pursue certain course while they entirely forget that they are first of all bound to discover, to the best of their ability, whether that course is the right and the true one. To cultivate the reason, to strengthen the judgment, to probe conclusions to ex anime opinions, are obligations which a sensitive conscience should press with as much urgency as to sct up to these con- clusions when inteliisently formed.

When Balboa discovered the Pacific he stood knee deep in tn, placid waters al Panama, and the name given the great ocean was appropriate to the locality. As far north as California, however, it is Q misnomer, for the wvaes of that ocean are there large all the summer, owing to the prevailing strong winds, and the winter storms off shore and near shore create large rollers constantly. It is now proposed to utilize this movement of the sea along that coast. Interesting experiments are being carried on at the beach near San Francisco, north of the Cliff House, with that view, it being the ultimate object to supply the city with some 50, 500 or 60, 900 horse power fol industrial purposes, water being used instead of steam. The experiments art being carried out by local engineer. The idea is to raise sea water through tho medium of 8 pump operated by tht waves, to height of about $50 feet whence it can be directed into the city and the power used for elevators, mills 5 uaaufactoriee, etc. The apparatus used h dmssibsd e exceedingly simple.

Thieyish Grows of Japan,

The crows ara feature of YezoA Japan, and ono which the colousts would willingly dispense with. There are millions of them, and in many places they bre ak the silence of the si- lent land with babel of noisy discords.
 They are everywhere, and have ats taiucd degree of most unpardonable impertinence, mingled with q cunning and sagacity which almost put them on a level with man in some circumstances. Eve of them were so impudent as to alight on two of my horses and so be ferried across the river. <
 In the inner garden at Mori I saw a dog eating piece of carrion in tho presence of several of s@1 these covetous birds. They evnettly sad great deal to each other on the subject, and now and then one or two of them tried to pull tho meat away from him, which ho resented.
 At last big, strong crow succeeded in tearing off a piece, with which he returned to the pine where the others were congregated, and after much earn est speech they all surrounded the dog, and the leading bird dexterously dropped the small piece of meat within reach o1 his mouth, when he immediately snapped at it, letting go the big piece unwisely for second.
 On this, two of the crows flew away with it to the pine and with much fut tering and hilarity they all devoured it, the deceived dog looking vacant and bewildered for moment, after whicl he sat under the tree and parked a them namely.
 A gentleman told me that he saw { dog holding piece of meat in like manner in the presence of three crows, which also vainly tried to tear it iron him; and after consultation they sep arated, two going as near as they daree to the meat while the third gave tho dogs tail bite sharp enough to make him turn around with a squeak, or which the other williams seized the meat and the three feasted triumphantly upon it on the top of a wall.-[ Youth Companion.

The Stiffness of Death,

The temperature of the body and rigidity of the muscles are not sure sign. Cases are on record where, in stead of being cold, the body had a tenn perature actually exceeding life, some- times rising to 1o9 deg, and in the matter of stiffness Cor rigo, mortis, as it is cnlled} Is knhject to- much variation, sometimes coming on immediately after death and sometimes long after. As a general thing, directly after death the body is limp, the jaw drops and the limbs ar, Timber. Stiffness soon follows, when the corpse may be raised up.
 This rigor sometimes comes very sud- denly after death. There is one case on record where some soldiers were sitting in group. Oac was laughing at sally of his companion, when shell carried away his head. An examin ation of the head showed the features so suddenly stiffened that the expression of mirth and laughter remained there in perfect outline. A soldier told the writer that he saw companion killed while in the act of climbing a fence during the bat tic of Perryville, and he stiffened so quickly that his dead hands grasped the rails, and one leg remained raised just as he had been about to throw it over the top rail. Passers by seeing him thought he was living, and paid no fur ther attention to him. He stuck there in that position for over two days. This is we'll vouched for, and can be proved by several witnesses. Pittsburg Dis patch.
